Featured is Game 8 between Ding Liren and Ian Nepomniachtchi from the 2023 World Chess Championship match. It’s a Nimzo-Indian Defense, Sämisch Variation with Ding combining Ra2 with some fishing pole action on the kingside. By move 12 something about the position became very fishy to the spectators. Might reaching that position turn out to be the biggest blunder of all in the match? Going into game 8 Ding Liren trails 3 points to Nepomniachtchi’s 4. The 2023 World Chess Championship is a best of 14-game match being played in Astana, Kazakhstan. The first player to earn 7.5 points will receive the lion's share (60%) of the approximately $2.2 million prize pool and claim the most prestigious title in chess: 'World Chess Champion'.
